Bond could in no way be black. Enough with cheering on wokeism already. I'm guessing Miss/Ms Moneypenny will be Chinese?

Are you wearing your hood ?

 

How about the best actor to fill the role, who might be available, for a 10 year run or the next 3 ish installments.  I've seen a few lists of suggestions, and as stated earlier Idris Elba would be perfect, IMHO, but would take a lot of money for him to commit, as enjoys his other interests & projects.

 

I don't think the rest of the suggestions would work very well.

 

They do have blacks/Africa decent folks working in British intelligence, in case you didn't know.   So far from 'woke-ism'.  If next JB was black & had to be gay with an handicapped lover, I might agree ????

Clarkson's Farm S2 out now at the usual places.

 

 

It’s tragic that this has been axed, it’s easily the best TV he’s ever done, imho. 
 

I just finished the series last night, not as good as the first, but highlights the level of BS bureaucracy faced by farmers in the UK.

Next James Bond | Who Will Be 007 After Daniel Craig? | Esquire

Oh <deleted> .. what a load of crock.

 

I would love to see Idris Alba as Bond, but I think he should have taken it when the rumours started flying many years ago. 
 

A woman? .. no, please not.

 

Theo James looks good, Damson Idris would be awesome, same Pappa Essiedu - Harry styles .. no thanks.

Thanks @Will27. I enjoyed watching all the seasons of Underbelly. I like Tim Roth and also Matt Nable (He played DS Gary Jubelin in 8 episodes of Underbelly). I'll definitely have a look at this.

I'm a huge fan of Matt Nable.

Reckon he's underrated.

 

Was in Mr Inbetween as well.

 

The book by John Ibrahim was a real page turner.

Fantastic in Hyde and Seek.

@Will27 I just started Underbelly - S01 is very dated. ???? The acting and production seem a bit cardboard. Let’s see.

That's a shame mate, I really enjoyed the series.

Especially series 1.

 

Perhaps it has more appeal to Aussies because a lot of the crims were really well known.

[Will27]

This one appearing this week looks pretty good.

Mate, I always stick with recommendations from here, there is like 7 series of it or something like. I just started E01 - it looks dated, because it is!

The Spy in Your Mobile

RAR.

 

 

A Storyville documentary that investigates a powerful and terrifying spyware called Pegasus, sold to governments around the world by Israeli company NSO Group and used on journalists, activists and others, including both the wife and fiancée of Saudi dissident Jamal Khashoggi.

Bond films have always been rubbish anyway, even as a kid in the 60's I thought they were poor. No problem with a black being cast as Bond, the problem is only ever casting blacks these days in positive roles and historical ones which are not true, Bridgerton, Anne Boleyn etc.

Still Missing Morgan

 

In June of 1995, Morgan Chauntel Nick was abducted from a little league ballpark in Alma, AR. Starting in 2019, cameras follow the Nick family and Detectives for the entire 24th year of Morgan's disappearance, revealing exclusive interviews and information around an unprecedented abduction investigation.

 

 

Music track is endless and annoying so gave up, one programme would have been enough. Amateur YT bers are better, coffee house crime, dreading etc, although some of them go in for pointless music over narration.

I haven't started it yet but it has some pretty good reviews.

Episode 6 of The Last Of Us is out, good so far as they kept the zombie element down to a minimum. Girl seems to have a good American accent considering she is from Nottingham in the UK.

Austin Butler is brilliant as Elvis. Sez it all.

Yeah man, it started off a bit dull, you could see that it was following the plot line of a zombie invasion PS game. I watched the episode in which they are escaping from the city, I thought it was pretty “intense”, and am enjoying the series.

Too woke for me, ep6 threw in the deaf/mute black kid (although he seemed to forget he was mute when running away from the zombies). Acting very poor throughout.

[mikebell]

You S3. 

Carnival Row.

 Can't watched BMF (Black Mafia Family) because I need subtitles to follow the jargon/enunciation. On a Woke note - the cast is almost universally black; where are the token whites?

To be fair they killed the black survivors off pretty quick, the Ellie character is a good actress. Oh there is the other black woman married to his brother though, of course she was an lawyer or something, they are never ex waitresses or cashiers at wallmart.

Do people really count the woke score?
 

As there are black people in the world, it never surprises me that they appear on TV. Now that you point it out, I agree the fact that the kid was deaf added nothing to the plot. 
 

Sometimes, at the end of my day, I just want to sit back, not think so much worry about politics or acting and just watch loads of zombies being shot and special effects.

Damn - is that the show written by Fiddy cent? That’s not woke .. that’s was just total garbage, I lasted 10 mins of s01e01 - I’m really surprised it’s made it to S03.

Yes they have but would appeal to the old duffers on here seeing nothing wrong with an elderly man taking a bath with someone young enough to be his daughter *cough cough* Then there are those who've swallowed the woke narrative by virtue (or not) of corporate media and a black Ann Boleyn's just fine. Right-o, who's up for an all white cast of Roots with Benedict Cumberbatch playing Kunta Kinte?

The Whale (2023)

On fmovies. (doesn't show on 'movies' page but saw it on the page for 'Thunder Bay' documentary.)

 

Excellent performance from Brendan Fraser and superb make-up.

This is a series not meant for white folk.  How do they get away with such racism?

[proton]

Just watched the 3 Godfather films, mostly Italian characters cast in good, bad and indifferent roles, rather more like real life. Much of what gets produced today is more along the lines of critical race theory.
